Dodge Viper



Beautiful car, very subtle curves, many reflective high points...and very difficult to paint! Ron, forgive me if i did not do justice to your car! thanks for the pose, though!

I started this painting with full sunlight, then the clouds rolled in and back to sunny again. i had to keep changing the reflections of this super shiny car many times. luckily it ended up to be mostly overcast again today. for those of you that do plein-aire paintings, my hats of to you.

Honda S2000



it was overcast all day today. but just as well, been too hot as of late. here is my co-worker's Honda. i guess the color of the car was appropriate for today's palette. done in Photoshop live.....thanks, MikeB!

Toyota Sequoia Part 2

the toyota sequia is neither super angular nor super round. it's this huge chunk of metal that is hard to pinpoint the correct perspective lines viewing from the second story. but gary meyer can. i had to tweak it a little using the skew/transformation tool...anyways, due to a request from a buddy, i did another life digital painting in higher rez.

Toyota Sequoia

i decided to paint what i saw outside my window again. this only took me a few minutes. perspective is a little off, or maybe the person just parked crooked. sorry after halfway through the painting, i realized i was doing it lo-rez.

Slow Day at the Office


i have a great view looking out my Sony office here in beautiful Bend, Oregon. however, it was raining all morning. thought i'd do a quick sketch from life using Photoshop.
haven't done this in a while since the Incognito days when i would paint my co-workers digitally working at their desks.

Air Filter


just got my AllerAir 5000 Exec DX from Cheap Joe's.

i felt like i needed to make this large purchase since i have to keep the windows in my painting studio closed for most of the year because the winters here are so long and cold. hopefully, this air filter will help me live a little longer and healthier. i'll let you know if it worked. or not.

Lumberjack Chop Chop


here is the before and after photos of the paintings that i chopped off. i really felt like there was too much sky. other artists like Ray Turner can pull off a good composition with a lot of sky, but not me.
